If this critical social work article does not convince and raise your consciousness levels that social workers and community and youth workers are being brainwashed and consumed into 'Neoliberalism' (NAZISM) political and economic idelogies and taken professionals away from their practice values and ethics, then nothing will ever enlighten you all of the ‘reality’ of current ‘systems’, that are they current workings within all public bodies that has entrenched all professionals into a political and economic vacuum that is systematic and fundamental to all forms of oppression against all disabled people, which is very similar what Hitler and Nazi’s did within the history of the Disability Holocaust.
 
Have you read this the warning signs from this historical period which has similar patterns of behaviour (not as overt yet, more overt!!) towards all disabled people and their allies?
 What is happen to social and youth and community workers in this country who some seem to blatantly ignore and seem to forgetting their history which has informed their professional practice all these years and their professional values and code of ethics which has informed our practice, but ‘obedience to authority’ and ‘ignorance’ and the 'queens-schilling' seems to be of more important to some professionals, then protecting their clients from all forms of abuse and oppression.
 
'We' all have choices in life to 'close our eyes' and not 'speak-out' as I have tried to continue to do in my work as a NeuroDiverse Autistic professional. Why is honesty a 'crime'??
In these dangerous political and economic times why is it that all social  and youth and community workers are choosing to live in ‘denial’ and are not organising themselves, with the Unions and allies  ‘side-by-side’ of all disabled people and their ULO’s and marching to parliament to ‘speak-out’ to ‘reclaim-their-practice’ from the Neoliberalist (Nazi) politicians who again are showing ‘life unworthy of life’ and leading all disabled people back to the gas-chambers, eugenics and history is repeating itself and that ‘disability holocaust ‘ in my opinion is on the horizon.
 
As social and community and youth workers, with their Unions ever organised any protests in the UK ‘side-by-side’ with all disabled people and the ULO’s to ‘reclaim’ social and community and youth work from the Neoliberalist (Nazi’s) to stop the history repeating itself before it’s too late?
 
When I have tried to ‘speak-out’ as many of you are fully informed I have been ‘gagged’ as a professional ‘user-led NeuroDiverse disabled person and violated of my basic human rights and civil liberties by ERYC and all other public bodies and the local Courts here in the East Riding and Hull localities. 
 
Why is this I have asked myself through skills I was taught in my University education using ‘anti-oppressive’ and ‘reflective-practice’ tools to ‘speak-out’?
 
This oppressive and abusive behaviour, in my own opinion, is that the public bodies and the Courts are protecting the Neoliberal (Nazism) political and economic agenda and are using as many ‘smokescreens’ and trying to ‘gloss-over-the-truth’.
 
Why are they threatening me with prison and ‘injuncting’ me for ‘speaking-out’ about ‘the-truth’ to frighten me into ‘silence’?
 
The UN in January 2006, nearly a year gave the following warning to the world:-  “UN marks Holocaust Day as constant reminder to prevent future genocides
29 January 2007 – The United Nations today marked the annual International Day of Commemoration in memory of the victims of the Holocaust with an urgent appeal that the remembrance of the millions of Jews and others murdered by the Nazis serve to prevent new massacres, a rebuff for those who deny that the tragedy ever occurred, and moving testimony from survivors. 
 
“The Holocaust was a unique and undeniable tragedy,” Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said in a video meaage played to a special memorial ceremony in the General Assembly Hall on the Holocaust in which 6 million Jews, 500,000 Roma and Sinti and other minorities, disabled and homosexuals were killed.

*** All I have tried to do is ‘speak-out’ about the serious cuts in services and abuse against all disabled people, especially also as it effects me as a NeuroDiverse ‘Autistic’ disabled person and for doing so my ‘behaviour’ by  ERYC, Humberside Police and local courts and other public bodies is too issue ‘injunctions’ (civil ASBO’s) to ‘gag and silence’ my ‘crip-voice’ and ‘criminalise’ my ‘impairments’ and obstruct my work as a disabled professional. 
 
This reminds me of the historical behaviour of Hitler and the Nazi’s and the film “A World Without Bodies” ( or would I state “ A World without ‘Crip-Voices’!!!)
Review by Sandy O'Neill ([log in to unmask]) 
http://www.disabilityworld.org/11-12_01/arts/review.shtml
 
A World Without Bodies Produced by Sharon Snyder and David Mitchell Brace Yourself Productions 11/01 In the early days of the Hitler regime, hundreds of thousands of people with disabilities, as defined by the Nazis, were forcibly sterilized. By 1939 and throughout the closing days of the Third Reich, people with disabilities were routinely murdered by methods that included the administration of lethal injections, gassing, shooting and deliberate starvation. Rounding a corner on the University of California's Berkeley campus, it was clear I had located the correct room as a number of wheelchair users and others with noticeable disabilities squeezed into a classroom. The premier showing of a video on the topic of these Nazi crimes, assembled by two leaders in the disability studies field, David Mitchell and Sharon Snyder, was the draw. The screening was preceded by a lecture on the history of disability in film and an introductory talk detailing the Nazi crimes. The interest in these watershed events in disability history was confirmed as I spoke with other people, both those with and without disabilities, attending the event. The rough cut of the new video, detailing the Mitchell and Snyder visit to the Bernberg (Germany) institution that served as one of the killing centers, juxtaposes their present-day tour of the institution with graphic visual and audio representations of historically negative images of disability. These images, compiled from an array of sources, reinforce the reality of the history of the oppression of people with disability as a normalized component of dominant Western culture...... continue reading rest of article using above link.....
